Follow the dotted line for the route taken by the vehicles in the funeral procession.
The procession enters Calvary Cemetery from the Greenpoint Avenue entrance.
The X at the bottom of this map gives the approximate location of the fictional Corleone burial.
Most of this route is not shown in the movie. After the vehicles pass through the gate of the cemetery we don't see them again until they get to the roadway between sections 1-South and 1-West.
The Daly marker seen in the film is at Section 1W, Range 18, Plot P, Grave #17, and Corleone would have been buried right behind that. So, the location is probably that or the adjacent Section 1W, Range 18, Plot N -- or something thereabouts. There are no markers where the Corleone burial would have been so you'd need the detailed cemetery map to deduce a precise grave # location-- and even at that you'd have to guess a little, since the open grave is never shown in the film.

Map of Don Corleone's grave location
Any chance you would know what the plot number of Don Corleone's 'grave' location? I see from the map it is between 43 and 39? My parents are located in Section 1 West Plot 41, I always thought the funeral scene in the Godfather was familiar.Thanks to your website,I know for sure it's close to where they did the scene. I live in Canada now, so I can't check out the cemetery myself to figure out how close my family's gravesite is to the Don's. Thanks
